“…Unfortunately, surveys of medical residents seem to frequently experience this difficulty of low response rates (e.g. 8.3% [29], 22% [30], 27% [31], 27.9% [32]). Based on research investigating this problem, the most likely reason for our observed response rate was the time burden of completing the study [33].…”

Objective Competency based medical education (CBME) requires novel approaches to surgical education. Significant investment has been made in laparoscopic simulation, which has been shown to foster skill development prior to patient encounters. However, research suggests variable voluntary use of these resources by residents, and little is known about the motivational factors that influence their utilization. The purpose of this study was to characterize factors that motivate residents to seek laparoscopic simulation experience outside of the formal curriculum. Design We developed a questionnaire grounded in Expectancy Value Theory, an established psychological theory of motivation, by adapting validated measures to fit the study context. We conducted a cross sectional survey of Canadian obstetrics and gynecology residents. Setting We invited residents enrolled in English-language obstetrics and gynecology training programs in Canada to participate. Participants All residents engaged in clinical duties during Winter 2018 were invited to complete the questionnaire. Forty-four Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob/Gyn) residents participated in the study. Results Residents reported limited use of simulation resources and identified multiple barriers including lack of time, access, and supervision. They expressed concern about development of bad habits during independent practice, and simulation use was positively
